personal expense or business expense which can deduct income tax

General Principal says that amount you spend for personal or family reasons are not deductible business expenses. However, if you are doing business from home or have a family business, there are expenses which are both in the nature of personal expenses and also business expenses.

The Indian Income Tax Provision allows deduction of these expenses, primarily in the nature of business, in other words, expenses which enable the business to sustain and grow.

Businesses can leverage by claiming these expenses for business, resulting in legitimate tax planning, however, the distinction may be difficult to make. The best methodology to find out whether a particular expense qualifies as a business expense rather than a personal one, ask yourself whether you would still have to incur the expense, if you don’t run the business?

Now, let’s deliberate on some of these expenses that intersect both personal and business expenses –

Rent, Interest, depreciation, etc. – for Home Business

If you have a small business and use a portion in your home for such business, whether it is a room, a portion of the room, a garage, a storage room, the expenses incurred for such area can be claimed as business expenses. The expenses incurred may include rent, interest, repairs, utilities and depreciation. These expenses can be claimed according to the portion of usage of home for business purpose. Further, if you have a house keeper for cleaning and maintenance of the house (including the area of business at home), the expenses for such service can also be shown as business expense accordingly.

Fuel, Repairs, etc. – Personal Car used in Business

If you use your personal car exclusively for business purpose then you can claim the expenses incurred for fuel, repairs & maintenance, insurance, registration, depreciation as business expenses. Further, if you use it partly for business and partly for personal then you can claim an estimated expenses incurred for business purpose.

If you are an employer and you make re-imbursement to your employee for the use of his vehicle for business, is can also be shown as business expenses.

Travel Expenses

Most people are in the business wherein they have to travel a lot, whether it is within the state, outside the state or outside the country. Such expenses may include travel fare (car hire, air fare, rail fare, bus fare, and taxi fare), accommodation expenses, food expenses and business activity expenses. These expenses can be shown as business expenses to the extent it is incurred for business purpose.

Mobile Expenses

Every business makes a use of phone for communication purpose. Mobile and landlines are often used to communicate between clients, customers or business associates. This expense can also be shown as business expenses. Further, there may be cases wherein mobile is used for business as well as personal purpose. In such case an estimated amount can be shown as business expense.

Entertainment Expenses

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So is the case in business. To improve productivity, motivation, efficiency, team spirit among the employees most of the business organizations have arrangements for entertainments. Such entertainment may include indoor games, In-house party, food & drinks, movies, etc. These are very helpful for the growth of the business and for maintaining a better and healthy environment within the organization. These expenses also form a part of business expense as it is incurred for the benefit of the business. Further, expenses incurred for the maintenance ofgreenery or a better infrastructure can also be shown as business expense.

Web Expenses

Internet is widely used in business organization especially in case of IT organization wherein the whole business is based on internet. People use it for accessing mails, research and development, web hosting, maintenance of website, etc. Such expenses can be included as business expense. In home business internet is used for personal as well as business purpose. In such case expenses can be claimed accordingly.

Credit Card Expenses

There are expenses, such as hosting charges, web-applications, travel expenses, for which payment is made from personal credit card of the entrepreneurs. There should a proper allocation of those expenses between personal and businesses, and expenses related to the business can be claimed to lower taxes.

Conclusion

You should never shy away from taking a deduction you are legally entitled to claim. However, at times these deductions are subject matter of litigation with the Indian Tax department, IT department being very skeptical about these expenses in the absence clear set of governing rules in this regard.

Thus, it is essential for businesses to have a basis for claiming these expenses fully backed with meticulous records.
